If he had been a truck driver he could still have taken his shot gun and did this.

But you need to be twenty one to get a CDL. Because trucks are dangerous. But you can be a wet nose kid with a big gun and a badge. I think congress needs to take a look at an age requirement for cops.

Ok. Well...One guy goes bad and we want to change age requirements and standards? Is there a problem with the systems now in place or did one young man just go berserk? Was being a cop the cause? Could someone from the local drive thru (I think you can sell burgers at 16:') have done the same?

Something that did catch my attention from the article is that he ran to his friend's dad and called his mom and grandmother. What about his dad? He might have been a strong influence in his life and I just didn't see him mentioned. I don't know. I do know that a lot of young men that get in to trouble don't have a male role model in the home. If I had to look at changing things because of youthful violence, that is where I would look if I was a law maker. It may not have any significance in this case though.
